Maybe they had the 100k BTC in an address, and the idea was going to be to send 50K split to the new winners, and 50K to a new storage address..... maybe one of the 2000 blocks did not sell? and so is being returned with the 50 k to a storage address?
(who knows though, i have not looked at this, nor thought about it very hard tbh ^ just first thing that comes to mind + I kinda lean towards thinking the lots would all sell, so probably some other explanation, actually thinking out loud here, but what is with the 4999.95 BTC amounts, if they were all going to be distributed to winners, would that mean that winners all won 5K ie 2k+3k bids? if that is the case then seems all very symmetrical to me)
I thought of that, but did not want to come across as a permabear troll FUD spreader! Like you, I also think it is unlikely. Why hold back 2k?
Yeh, the distribution is also wierdly symmetrical
hah... do you read this thread very closely ? I am certainly not a perma bear, nor a fud spreader lol... but then I am not here to fanfare either, if there is a chance a 2K block did not sell (or did not get paid for) then that would be interesting , is all.. and yes I know it sooooundsss FUD like/perma-bear talk, but it ain't , just speculation bro. Like I said, I tend to lean towards the blocks all selling.
Did the US marshalls say they had 144K of Bitcoins from Ross himself?
so the 99,999 just split into 11 lots (there were 11 bidders!?) could have been split 52K back to storage , and 48k sent to winners (the 11 addresses + the 52 K , add up to is the 100k and then the 44 K in the address 12pfPVkSNPb49Ez6GDuc4DuDdw4WCDCVef is the remaining of the 144k from Ross??)
I dunno,pure speculation tbh
and who said that Draper win 2000, there is not 2000 instead 2999 btc
